February 12th : CHESHIRE PORK PIE
Divide a loin of pork into chops, and cut away the skin and the greatest part of the fat; season the meat with salt, Cayenne, and a littlenutmeg.
Peel and core a dozen pippins, filling up the centres with fine Lisbon sugar.
Line your dish with a good crust paste, then put in a layer of pork, then a layer of pippins, and so on till you have filled your dish ; pour in a pint of sherry, and cover down with paste for top crust.
Two hours' baking will not be too much to insure the meat being perfectly done.
